Adventure Pass Ending in 2025

Due to circumstances outside of our control, the Des Moines Public Library’s Iowa Adventure Pass service will no longer be available in 2025. Any reservation already made for 2025 will be honored, but we encourage anyone with a current reservation to print those passes immediately. Customers can make new reservations for passes that must be used by December 31, 2024. We hope to reintroduce the service at a later time, and we apologize for the inconvenience.

Program Description

Event Details

Come to Central Library to learn the basics of 3D printing and design an animal figurine all your own! We will use Tinkercad , a free design platform, to create our figurines, and we encourage you to set up your free Tinkercad account before the program. One month after class you will be able to pick up your projects and take them home.

Note: This program will require the use of computers or other devices with a screen large enough to design on. The library has a limited number of laptops it can provide, but please feel free to bring your own laptop or device.
